The Gambling Act 2012 replaced the one enforced in 2009 in Bulgaria, but it preserved the main regulatory framework related to the gaming activities and developed a series of proposals for online gambling operators among many others. According to the legislation, the gaming activities can be set up by private businesses or by state-owned companies, if all the licenses are acquired. It is good to know that the Bulgarian legislation respects the EU directives in the gambling sector.
